NextImg:Iowa-UConn March Madness clash ends in controversy with brutal offensive foul: ‘That call sucked’

It’s hardly a big game these days without an extremely controversial officiating decision.

UConn forced back-to-back turnovers and had the ball, trailing 70-69, with 10 seconds left after calling timeout.

UConn then fouled Caitlin Clark, who hit 1 of 2 free throws before Iowa held on to win, 71-69.

The Hawkeyes will face undefeated South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament championship game.

Fans and pundits were angry over the call with Andraya Carter on “SportsCenter” going as far to say: “I don’t even know if I can say this on TV, but that call sucked”
